The Rubbermaid Premier Series II Step-On brings function and design to your home. Its charcoal stainless-steel foot pedal allows for hands-free operation to reduce the spread of germs and the quiet close lid lowers slowly to reduce unwanted noise. The lid lock allows the container to be locked shut, to keep out pets and children, or locked open for longer tasks such as peeling vegatables. The integrated LInerlock(TM) holds the garbage bag in place to prevent slipping to prevent messes and interior venting makes removing heavy trash bags simple. While the container is ideal for kitchen waste, it is also versatile and durable and could be used for pet food or recycling.
